At this time, Huang Dazhong unknowingly raised his tone and said: "Old Du, you say it carefully, what do you think?"

  Du Xiaoming continued, "As far as I know, before the album 'Tao Sheng Yi Jiou' was released, Chen Changsheng had already proposed a contract extension, but the conditions offered didn't seem to be very high, so there has been no news of a contract extension. Moreover, it seems that Sony's Xie Mingyuan personally met with Liao Liao more than once, and I heard that he even directly offered Liao Liao 40 songs for 30 million yuan!"

  "Of course, at that time 'Tao Sheng Yi Jiu' had not been released yet. Now, this price is not even considered high! Nowadays, if you want to sign Liao Liao, you don't even need to mention the normal signing fee, let alone a premium for poaching him. If you can't offer a share of 12% to 15%, or a quote of at least 800,000 yuan per song, then it's not even worth mentioning!"

  "Liao Liao's current status, whether in terms of album sales or reputation among fans, should be on the same level as Liu Mingliang and Zhao Xinfu. Yes, she is the number one female singer, and at least top three among all singers domestically! In fact, I think that even without considering the future, but just looking at the present, she has already surpassed Liu Mingliang in popularity!"

  Moreover, unlike Wu Yifan who only has one album and directly fell down with the second one, her singing skills are there, absolutely recognized as a powerful singer. So maybe her future albums will have some fluctuations in song quality and sales, but at least for several years, she won't fall like Wu Yifan now!

  After a pause, waiting for Huang Dazhong and the people in the conference room to think about what they had just said, he continued: "So, my point is that even if we don't consider anything else, she's still worth our investment! Signing her will definitely not be a loss! So let's take action and offer her a high price directly! If we can reach an agreement, it would be the best outcome. Even if we can't, at least it would be a gesture of goodwill towards Liao Liao and Li Qian, and when the time comes, we can ask her to mediate and say a few good words, which should still save us some face."

  He said so. Huang Dazhong had already been unable to hold back and nodded repeatedly, seeing him press down on the topic, Huang Dazhong couldn't help but ask: "Then what do you think, we give her a quote, what would be considered sincere? What would be considered showing goodwill?"

  He said with a habitual wave of his hand, "Well, my point is, we're not just pretending, since the price has been reported, and Liao Liao is already a free man, Sony can make a move, so we should too! So, our goal is to really sign her... what's the quote?"

  Du Xiaoming hesitated for a moment, furrowed his brow and thought for a while. He said: "I think giving her 40 songs for 400 million or 12% should be considered sincere enough? Then... then it can only be discussed in detail! But I think 50 songs for 500 million should be no problem? As for the brokerage contract, I think we can let go of a part of it, after all, Liao Liao has never accepted commercial performances! And, hehe, she won't be that kind of obedient person who listens to what you say and does what you tell her!"

  This consideration is quite comprehensive!

  Huang Dazhong nodded as he listened, pursing his lips in thought.

  After a moment, when he found that the conference room had quieted down again, he came to his senses. He nodded and rarely smiled at Du Xiaoming, saying: "Old Du, this consideration is not bad, very good!" Then he turned his head to look at other people on the conference table, asking: "Is there anyone else who wants to say something? Don't be afraid. It's just a discussion! What do you think, whether it's mature or not, can be said, and only then can we discuss it?"

  The crowd heard this and some lowered their heads without speaking, while others furrowed their brows in deep thought.

  At this time, the production department manager suddenly spoke up: "Well, since President Huang said so, I do have a somewhat immature consideration, uh, let's just say it out loud for everyone to refer to!"

  Huang Dazhong waved his hand with relish and said, "Go ahead, speak your mind!"

  He nodded and said, "Actually, it's still what Director Du said earlier about signing Liao Liao over. I was thinking, since we're all going to run to sign people anyway, why not just be straightforward and bundle Liao Liao and that Li Qianqian together for negotiation?"

  Huang Dazhong's eyes lit up at the words, and he immediately straightened his body. "Tell me, tell me what you think!"

  But before the production department manager had a chance to speak, Du Xiaoming shook his head and said directly: "I think there's little hope. It is said that Xie Mingyuan also had this idea and wanted to sign this golden duo, but it is said that Li Qian rejected him on the spot!"

  Huang Dazhong nodded upon hearing this, but still turned his head to look at the production department manager, with an expression of grasping the last straw, encouragingly looking at him, waving his arm and saying: "It's okay, just say your ideas first, let everyone discuss it, if not then so be it, what's there to lose?"

  The production department manager nodded and continued: "I'm thinking, can't we directly offer Liao Liao two quotes? One is like Du General Manager just said, 40 songs for 400 million, sign her. The other one requires that after signing with Liao Liao, the songs produced must have at least 50% of Li Jian's lyrics and composition, and require Liao Liao to have each album produced by Li Jian, then give her a higher price!"

  Huang Dazhong nodded as he listened, affirming: "This is indeed a new line of thinking! Hmm, not bad at all!" He paused for a moment, then looked at the production department manager and said with approval: "You go on, what other ideas do you have? Let's hear them all!"

  The production manager was praised, and his eyes immediately sparkled with excitement. He continued: "So far, we all know that Liao Liao has exceptional vocal skills and singing techniques, but I think the reason she's become so popular is largely due to Li Qian producing and writing 15 songs for her two albums. Signing Liao Liao alone would be a good deal, but signing Li Qian as producer and songwriter would be an even more profitable transaction! Because I believe that only when Li Qian's lyrics, composition, and production meet Liao Liao's vocals and singing skills can we guarantee a best-selling album! So, no matter how expensive it is, it will definitely pay off!"

  This is indeed a very thorough and surprising statement. Although before this, after experiencing the pain of Wu Suo's defeat, including Huang Dazhong, many people inside Hua Ge had been reflecting on this matter, vaguely thinking about it, but only after hearing this statement did everyone suddenly feel that their thoughts became clear - yes, Li Qian plus Liao Liao, or rather, Li Qian plus anyone, such as Wu Suo, is the real guarantee of selling seats!

  So upon hearing this, Huang Dazhong couldn't help but slap the table and his eyes sparkled with excitement.

  And at this time, the production department manager continued: "Moreover, in fact, as long as Liao Liao can motivate Li Qian, the two of them will eventually sign this buyout contract. Of course, Liao Liao is our artist, and Li Qian will definitely not be distant from us! The joining and closeness of these two people to us is not just about Liao Liao making an album and earning money. Liao Liao has already reached the level of a pillar, she's the most popular one, her arrival... including cooperation with other artists and musicians in the company, has a high probability of bringing a group of people to fame! And Li Qian..."

  He paused for a moment, smiled, and seeing that everyone was paying attention to him, he continued: "I don't know if you've all heard, but I heard that Chen Changsheng dared to compete with our company's Wu Xing Wusu with Liao Liao's new album because not only does he have confidence in this album, but also because Li Qian has agreed to write a song for each of the other four singers of Changsheng Records!"

  "And I think, probably the latter is the main reason! Liao Liao's "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou" is already the last album in their contract, and he probably knows that Changsheng Records can't keep him anymore. So, using this album to have a final showdown with Wu Xing Yu Su, even if he fails, his loss won't be too great. And Li Qian's four songs might just make those four singers in his company popular for a while... I think this is what he's thinking!"

  And from his abacus, it's not hard to see how much confidence he has in Li Qian! So, if Liao Liao signs, and also gets the contract for Li Qian's supervision, as long as we gradually restore our relationship with Li Qian and handle things well, how many people can Li Qian help us make famous? This... is simply priceless!

  Bang!

  Huang Dazhong slapped the table heavily, his eyes shining with excitement, and said: "Well said! Your analysis is also very good!"

  But after saying this sentence, he hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but reveal a hint of hesitation again, not only asking others, but also asking himself, just saying: "It's just...I don't know how high the price has to be to move Liao Liao's heart, and then help us persuade Li Qian?"

  Of course, no one can answer this question.

  Because at present, Li Qian's market effect as a producer for others is too great. Not to mention his production of Wu Xing Wu Su's first album, it is said that he also signed a profit-sharing contract for Liao Liao's "Tao Sheng Yi Jiou".

  Now "Tao Sheng Yi Jiu" is very popular, and Liao Liao has become a household name!

  He says, if he writes a song and produces an album, how much should it be worth?

  It's priceless, but it's a bit exaggerated, and the price is really hard to give!

  Based on his past market performance, the price of a song with lyrics and composition should be at least comparable to that of Liu Liang, or even slightly higher.

  Here is the translation:

  Thinking of this, Huang Dazhong turned his head to look at Du Xiaoming and said: "Old Du, I think we'll do it like this. Two contracts, let Liao Liao choose for herself! The first contract, sign her own name, just as we discussed earlier, quote 400 million yuan for 40 songs! As for the one with Li Qian in charge of production... we won't quote a price, let them two discuss it and give us a quote! As long as she's willing to quote a price, we'll accept it!"

  Du Xiaoming nodded slowly and couldn't help but praise, "Huang Zong is really capable!" After thinking for a moment, he rarely took the initiative to ask, "Then, about this matter... I'll take care of it?"

  Huang Dazhong burst out laughing and said, "In our Huage circle, in terms of connections, in terms of status... who else but you?"

  Du Xiaoming smiled with satisfaction and immediately agreed.

  The meeting has reached this point, in Huang Dazhong's view, it is basically perfect. At least a very feasible method has been discussed! From then on, the smile on his face began to increase.

  Smiling as he swept his gaze over the crowd, he asked: "Then... who else wants to say no?"

  As soon as this sentence came out, it naturally meant that the meeting was about to end.

  At this moment, many people shook their heads, and some even began to pack up and tidy up the materials in front of them.

  But at this time, it was just an observer meeting, so the five-line agent Wu Jie, who had been sitting at the other end of the conference table from head to toe and had not spoken until now, suddenly said: "Director Huang... uh. I have some ideas, I don't know if I can say them?"

  Huang Dazhong's mood improved, and he nodded upon hearing this. He had originally planned to stand up, but now sat back down again. He said with relish: "Of course I can talk, what's on your mind? Go ahead and say it!"

  "Wu Jie said: 'Actually, there's something I've known since the beginning of this year, but Jing Xue didn't let me tell anyone outside, so I haven't said anything about it until now. That is, the reason why Jing Xue was able to get Li Qian to give them a song for their new album and be its producer. Mainly because, supposedly, Jing Xue and Li Qian have been neighbors since childhood, living across from each other. And, supposedly, Jing Xue's younger sister is Li Qian's girlfriend!'"

  Brush, Huang Dazhong's eyes lit up.

  At the same time, many people's eyes in the conference room lit up.

  This is a very important relationship!

  In any circle, it all boils down to human relationships, and the importance of interpersonal relationships can't be overstated. What's more, isn't it simply a direct kinship?

  Huang Dazhong suddenly burst out laughing and pointed at Wu Jie, saying: "Such important information. Why didn't you say it earlier?"

  "Hmm..." Wu Jie was stunned for a moment, then said: "Firstly, Jing Xue didn't let me say it, secondly...secondly, according to Jing Xue herself, she seemed to have beaten Li Qian when they were young. So between the two of them, they've never really gotten along..."

  Before Wu Jie finished speaking, Huang Dazhong burst out laughing again, and many people in the conference room followed suit.

  He paused for a moment, and Huang Dazhong laughed: "What's the big deal? It was just a small matter from childhood, now it can even bring us closer together!" However, when he said this, he suddenly became stunned, because he suddenly remembered that he was talking about Wang Jingxue. That girl didn't seem like someone who was good at bringing people closer together. In fact, if she could avoid making the relationship awkward, it would already be a blessing.

  "Anyway! You go back and call her, tell her that you've broken up, no matter whose fault it is. If they want to revive the relationship, then next time be more diligent, lower your status a bit, make a few more calls to Li Qian, better yet meet in person, get closer! Tell Wang Jingxue not to waste such a good relationship, don't know how to use it! Uh, and you, she's that kind of person, you need to teach her more!"

  Huang Dazhong nodded in satisfaction, saying: "Very good, this is the way it should be!" He paused for a moment, and his gaze inadvertently swept over Li Jindong, who was sitting at the far end of the conference table next to Wu Jie. After thinking for a moment, he smiled again and said: "And, Jindong! In the past, you have made significant contributions to the company. For example, the last album of Wuxin's group, you also contributed a lot to it! Hmm, I heard that apart from those few girls, your relationship with Li Qian is not bad either?"

  Li Jinlong was taken aback for a moment, then forced out a smile and said: "It's not that it's not okay, it's just a relatively normal working relationship! We don't have much contact, but he's a person who is humble on the surface, but actually very proud inside! As for me, my level is limited, so apart from normal contact with him, it's not easy to talk about other things."

  Huang Dazhong nodded in satisfaction and said, "Although that's the case, you two still have a relationship after all! Later on, you should also get in touch with him, okay?"

  Li Jinlong heard this and naturally could only nod his head in agreement.

  At this time, Huang Dazhong thought for a moment and said: "In that case, Jindragon, you've also been a producer for many years, with achievements and experience! Alright, from now on, you'll sign another contract, starting today, you're the company's secondary producer. In addition to fixed performance and bonuses, you'll also start getting dividends, how about it?"

  What a surprise!

  As soon as Huang Dazhong spoke, not only Li Jindong, but also others in the company showed a slightly surprised expression. But after a moment's thought, everyone nodded in understanding.

  Among the producers of Huaying Music, Li Jindong is not the most outstanding one, but he is still steady in his work. So over the years, although he hasn't achieved any remarkable results, at least he has been stable and hasn't made any major mistakes. Even if it's just a matter of seniority, he's about to be promoted to second-level soon. Moreover, if we're talking about contributions, the big sales of Wu Yifan's previous album "Sisters Stand Up" should still be credited to him as the producer!

  At this time, after being surprised, Li Jinlong seemed to have thought of these things quickly, so he hurriedly stood up and said: "Thank you, President Huang, I will continue to work hard in the future!"

  Huang Dazhong burst out laughing and said "good" twice in a row, while the office erupted in applause.

  But at this time, nobody noticed that although Li Jinlong's face showed a surprised expression, his eyes were actually very calm, even with a bit of a cold feeling.
